Let’s start with a favourite this morning!
Have fun with numbers
- Count objects around the home.
- Choose a number, then count on.
- Choose a number, then count back.
- Adults can count and miss out a number – encourage your child to say the missing number.
- Write numbers and encourage your child to match with objects or draw.
Literacy – Read together every day
- Talk about interesting words and what is happening in the story.
- Talk about reading from left to right and show your child by pointing, how to trace the words.
- Make mistakes in familiar songs and rhymes…..have fun as your child corrects you!
- Take time to listen to your child’s ideas and opinions.
Yesterday we posted the Gruffalo. Today you can listen to the ‘Glasgow’ version read by Elaine C Smith-

Talent Show
- The children loved doing this in our ELCC. If the children enjoy dancing… karate… football… tricks… magic… jokes… singing…. have them rehearse a wee show of their own making…. make a little stage area in house and have them dress up and put on a show for the family. This is great to build their confidence and self-esteem.
Material fun
- …. any old bedding, curtains, old clothes. You can cut these up to give the children scraps to be creative with – collage creations, making outfits for dolls/figures, dressing up themselves…..or making tents and dens. They will be limited only by their imagination!
